Hi, Folks,
You're warmly invited to an informational meeting next Thursday evening for the pilot of a new citywide Grassroots Leadership College - see details
below.
Note that we are not yet set up to do this training for non-English
speakers, but are planning to expand to make it accessible to Spanish and
Hmong speakers after the pilot. We are looking for bilingual participants
and coaches to be involved in the pilot and to assist with the later expansion.
Please distribute widely
GRASSROOTS LEADERSHIP COLLEGE
Developing grassroots leaders by building skills and relationships in a
supportive and challenging environment.

Catholic Multicultural Center (St. Martin House)

Why a Grassroots Leadership College?
Madison has a long history of community and neighborhood involvement, yet not everyone feels as though they have a voice in the issues that affect them. The goal of the Grassroots Leadership College is to help people build the skills it takes to improve their neighborhoods and community.
What is the Grassroots Leadership College?
A hands-on opportunity to learn and contribute, designed to enhance the skills needed for neighborhood organizing and leadership. Topics to be
covered will include Diversity, Managing Conflict, Recruitment and
Retention, Running Effective Meetings, Fundraising, and Understanding
Leadership, among others. Participants will have the opportunity to help shape the content of each session.
Who is the Grassroots Leadership College for?
People who are leaders and people who want to become leaders. People from all walks of life who are interested in improving their neighborhoods and community. Childcare, transportation, and community meals will be
available.
How do I get involved?
The Grassroots Leadership College is scheduled to begin in April 2003. Applications are available through Madison's Planning Councils (East Isthmus Neighborhoods Planning Council: 204-0834; Northside Planning
Council: 242-6378; South Metropolitan Planning Council: 261-9928).
